A Place to Recover: 3 Medical Perks of Staying in a Furnished Apartment

Living away from home for a medical stay likely isn’t your first option, but sometimes, it’s the only one available. We understand this isn’t your ideal decision and that moving somewhere new, temporarily, can be scary, but residency in a furnished apartment dials down those concerns.

1. It Feels Like Home

Being away from home is a tough mindset to overcome. You’re without your usual necessities, you’re not in your usual space, and you’re away from your family. These factors make it difficult to encapsulate your normal at-home vibe.

Nobody likes being away from home, but life in a furnished apartment eases the transition so you feel like you are. Think of it as a convenient second home for your medical stay. Fully stocked rooms, from the kitchen to the bedroom, make these apartments a favourable option. Staying at home is always the first choice, but sometimes it just doesn’t make sense logistically. Here, you’ll feel like you’re at home, despite temporarily being away from it.

Furnished apartments include all the amenities, so you’ll feel like you haven’t gone far. You’ll quickly feel at home in your new spot, making a surprisingly speedy transition, despite living somewhere that isn’t traditionally “your” space. All you need to do now is schedule family time.

2. It Has Everything You Need

Today’s furnished apartments come with the basic necessities—and then some. Furnished apartments include all the cooking essentials, on-site laundry, linens, and more. Do laundry in the unit and eat dinner in front of the TV—just like at home.

Settle in for a good night’s sleep using provided luxury bedding and enjoy state-of-the-art features, such as WiFi and flat-screen televisions. Most buildings include a gym, complete with updated equipment; a concierge as you go to and from the building to your appointments; and, occasionally, a swimming pool.

Clean, modern accommodations, filled with everything you need, make relocation to a furnished apartment the logical solution for your medical stay, while knowledgeable, friendly staff are readily available to answer any questions or concerns. They provide a seamless experience during your stay, so you won’t have to worry about a thing.

3. It’s in a Convenient Location

If you need to stop by the grocery store, you won’t have to go far. If you want to go out for the day, there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The majority of furnished apartments are located within close distance of basic services you need and want. These accommodations are more than comfortable: Their convenient location reduces the stress of determining how to get to your appointments.

Do you have a follow-up appointment at the hospital? The city’s highly acclaimed hospitals are only a short drive away, perfect when you’re going to and from the doctor’s office during your medical stay. When you’re not far from where you need to go, you’ll spend less time worrying about running late for an appointment or getting stuck in traffic.

It can be a challenge to get around after an operation. City Gate Suites’ furnished apartments are conveniently located in close proximity to Mississauga’s hospitals. If you’re unsure where you’re going, the building’s helpful and resourceful staff can provide guidance and directions.

The combination of these factors lessons the pain felt from being away from home. When relocation is the only choice, a furnished apartment aims to make you comfortable, ease daily living, and make it easy to access the best medical care.
